All day I searched for stand-out facial hair, a slick sock bun, or even a shiny, perfect bald head – but I kept coming up empty-handed. Could I be reaching hair block, already? No. Never.

Glossy ringlets to the rescue. Glossy man-ringlets.

On day three, I ran into Denver Post Nuggets reporter Benjamin Hochman. I couldn’t pass up the chance to film one of the best curly mops Denver has flopping around.

Hochman describes his bouncy curls as quite versatile. He can style and tousle them in many, out-dated but perhaps timeless ways. Talking to Hochman about his hair took me back to simpler days; the ones where the hardest decision I had to make was which one of the five Bar Mitzvah parties should I RSVP “yes” to for the following Saturday.

Thanks Ben, for that step back in time. And, thank you for reminding us all, about the great wisdom of the mullet: business in the front, and party in the back.
